Johnny Rockets Sports Lounge Touches Down In Manhattan
LAKE FOREST, Calif., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Iconic Hamburger Chain Combines America's Favorite Pastime with Classic
American Food and Fun on Upper East Side
Johnny Rockets, Home of the Original Hamburger, announces the launch of
its newest concept, Johnny Rockets Sports Lounge, adding a definitive
American sports bar to their classic restaurant theme. The new, two-story
prototype is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, at 62nd and 1st,
and combines a traditional restaurant, downstairs, with sports-filled
screens, stylish decor and a full-service bar, on the upper, ground floor.
Adding a new dimension to their all-American experience, the Johnny
Rockets Sports Lounge offers the traditional fare of juicy, handmade
hamburgers, American fries and hand-dipped malts, along with classic bar food
and unique shakes mixed with alcohol.
"For 25 years, Johnny Rockets has built a solid reputation of providing
feel-good food and fun times for guests of all ages, so what could be more
fitting than combining America's favorite pastimes - sports - with their
favorite food - hamburgers and fries?" said Ray Vasquez, Franchise Owner of
the location. "New Yorkers are passionate about their sports teams as well as
their food, so the Johnny Rockets Sports Lounge is sure to be a home run."
The restaurant marks the opening of the company's second Sports Lounge
and the first located in the Big Apple. The chain currently provides support
for nearly 300 restaurants in the U.S. and abroad, with plans to double that
number in the next three-to-five years.
"This latest version of Johnny Rockets shows how our Company evolves to
offer our flexible platform with a variety of footprints to appeal to a wide
range of venues and customer bases," said John Fuller, president and CEO of
Johnny Rockets. "We want to make sure each of our restaurant locations
matches the Johnny Rockets brand, as well as the lifestyles of their
neighboring clientele. This particular restaurant should fit both criteria
squarely, and we are eager to replicate it in other cities around the
country."
